Can't do it on a odexed rom.... When we theme we are changing the files inside of an apk file. When you have an odexed rom the apk files are seperated into 2 different files (an apk and an odex)... by deodexing what they are doing is merging the two files together. So when you install a theme you would be updating the apk files and if you were odexed then you would only get have of the updated file and everything would get all messed up.


Thread main question - My answer would be no... 2.1 structure and images are quite different from 2.2 and even the theme porting tools have proved not to work very well. My sugestion... open up a 2.2 theme and start moving over your png files one apk at a time. That way you are using the 2.2 xml and jar files.
